Theobald killed it with this one... it holds plenty of appeal for adults, but if that isn't your thing, recommend it to your children, or grandchildren' * Professional Bookworm *
A thought-provoking adventure of a book, and probably a perfect read-aloud or audiobook for your summer road trip * Blah, Blah, Blah, Book Blog *
The best piece of YA historical fiction that I have come across in a long while * Magic Fiction Since Potter *
